Emergency Assistance
GRACE provides emergency assistance to over 1200 families per year who are faced with financial challenges due to low-income, recent emergency, or at risk of becoming homeless. This program provides financial assistance for rent and utilities, clothing, toiletries, household goods, furniture, and information/referrals to those in need.
Outreach to Health Community Clinic
A dedicated staff of volunteer physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers operate the clinic once a week. The clinic provides the following services: routine office visits and health screenings, medications, specialist referrals, diagnostic testing and lab services, dietary consultations, and general health education. As appropriate, patients are referred to Tarrant County's John Peter Smith Health Network. The quarterly Well-Woman Clinic provides education, screening, and testing along with referral for follow-up and treatment. The Diabetic Education Program is open to all community members who want to know more about living with and managing this disease.
Transitional Housing
The transitional housing program allows homeless families to enjoy clean, stable housing for up to two years while they work toward independence. Housing clients participate in intensive case management, pursuing educational, career, and financial goals during their stay. All activities are aimed at self-determination and eventual self-sufficiency.
Tech Center
The Tech Center is a technology training program available to GRACE clients, staff, volunteers, and general community members. The program offers beginner, intermediate, and expert level classes for basic computer skills. Classes are offered on weekends and evenings in order to facilitate the work schedules of students, and most courses are taught by volunteer instructors. The Tech Center also utilizes skilled volunteers to refurbish donated used computers, which are given to clients who complete an entire series of classes.
